The same way that people who use the supermarket bags for life manage, I assume. Either think about what they are doing or don't bother at all.

You have got me worried about possible cross contamination the next time I have a chicken sandwich, though.

Just another tax! The worst bags were the bio degradable type, you could spend an age with a vacuum cleaner, picking up the bits.
I understand that is is a Green idea. Like putting a brick in your cistern so you use less water when flushing the toilet, leaving some of the germs behind or washing at 30 degrees, leaving the bugs on your linen.
Not be long before the bags are free again. Silly idea.

What a stupid comment. Make it 25p and we might get somewhere. What's 30p for a half dozen bags for £100 plus worth of shopping?

Well I reuse bags all the time and cant say that i have ever suffered any cross contamination issues, i dont wash the fabric ones very often either!. I guess with all the food poisoning going around out there im just lucky :-)

How often do you buy raw meat from supermarkets that isn't well-packaged? I can't imagine it would cause any significant number of problems.

It's not uncommon to buy uncooked meat that has clingfilm packaging. Quite often there is some leakage which can lead to contamination. The letter writer does have a point.

Uncooked meat in cling film.... from a supermarket?

Sorry I have never come accross this.All uncooked (and indeed cooked) meat I have seen in supermarkets is in sealed packs or the butcher / deli counter person places it in a sealed bag.

How do you think bags for life work?
